Hi,
I have a problem getting this Lan to go to the Internet now that there is a cable connexion available. This is a 4 computer Lan, 3 with Windows 98, one with Windows 2000 which acts as a server, but it is set up as workgroup. There is a Linksys router. A NW cable goes from the cable modem to the Wan of the router, and then one port of the router connected to a wall plug which goes to a hub where all other computers are connected to. I was unable to go to the Internet, however the computer can see each other on the network.
So, I plugged the cable modem straight to a PC and got the cable connexion alive. Then I put the router in between, I had some troubles at first, but I resetted the router long enough so as to clear earlier settings and I got the connexion alive, for that one computer.
Then, I moved the equipment to its proper place; I replugged the router and cable modem, I then connected one of the port of the router to the wall plug which goes to the Hub. I can see the network, but no internet connexion possible.
This is really odd as just a few minutes earlier, I had a DSL modem connected the exact same way and I was able to go to the Internet from all computers. So I know all my equipment is working, I know I have a live cable connexion, where am I missing that I cannot get the Internet connecting to the Lan?
Cheers!
